MFW-Mixy Matchy

I have been  collecting bits and pieces of patterned card stock for some time now.  There is a Challenge over at Moxie Fab World where Cath is asking for projects with ... yes! mixy matchy patterns.  
"The goal is to break the age-old rule that says patterns shouldn't be combined, and mix and match to your heart's content."
Okay, I have enough scraps to make a hundred cards for this one... anyone else out there have a huge collection ;-)
Let's start with my most recent pieces of scrap papers and we will see about how many more I can come up with, eh?


The grosgrain ribbon is more orange color than the red that it appears to be in this pic. The plaid and the floral cardstock are actually from a pack of note cards I bought a while ago and recently found. The green piece with the sentiment stamped on it was sitting on my craft desk...kinda collecting dust,  the color matched the other scraps, so I used it like a tag.
